Let [Formula: see text] be a positive definite (non-classic) integral quaternary quadratic form. We say [Formula: see text] is strongly[Formula: see text]-regular if it satisfies a strong regularity property on the number of representations of squares of integers. In this paper, we show that there are exactly [Formula: see text] strongly [Formula: see text]-regular diagonal quaternary quadratic forms representing [Formula: see text] (see Table [Formula: see text]). In particular, we use eta-quotients to prove the strong [Formula: see text]-regularity of the quaternary quadratic form [Formula: see text], which is, in fact, of class number [Formula: see text] (see Lemma 4.5 and Proposition 4.6).

This paper proves that ifNis a nonnegative eligible integer, coprime to 7, which is not of the formx2+y2+7z2, thenNis square-free. The proof is modelled on that of a similar theorem by Ono and Soundararajan, in which relations between the number of representations of an integernp2by two quadratic forms in the same genus, thepth coefficient of anL-function of a suitable elliptic curve, and the class number formula prove the theorem for large primes, leaving 3 cases which are easily numerically verified.

As an interpretation and a generalization of Gauss’ genus theory on binary quadratic forms in the language of arithmetic of algebraic tori, Ono [02] established an equality between a kind of “Euler number E(K/k)” for a finite Galois extension K/k of algebraic number fields and other arithmetical invariants associated to K/k. His proof depended on his Tamagawa number formula [01] and Shyr’s formula [Sh] which follows from the analytic class number formula of a torus. Later, two direct proofs were given by Katayama [K] and Sasaki [Sa].

Abstract Let 𝑚 ∈ ℕ, 𝑓 be a positive definite, integral, primitive, quaternary quadratic form of the determinant 𝑑 and let ρ(𝑓,𝑚) be the corresponding singular series. When studying the best estimates for ρ(𝑓,𝑚) with respect to 𝑑 and 𝑚 we proved in [Gogishvili, Trudy Tbiliss. Univ. 346: 72–77, 2004] that where 𝑏(𝑘) is the product of distinct prime factors of 16𝑘 if 𝑘 ≠ 1 and 𝑏(𝑘) = 3 if 𝑘 = 1. The present paper proves a more precise estimate where 𝑑 = 𝑑0𝑑1, if 𝑝 > 2; 𝑕(2) ⩾ –4. The last estimate for ρ(𝑓,𝑚) as a general result for quaternary quadratic forms of the above-mentioned type is unimprovable in a certain sense.

For a positive definite ternary integral quadratic form [Formula: see text], let [Formula: see text] be the number of representations of an integer [Formula: see text] by [Formula: see text]. A ternary quadratic form [Formula: see text] is said to be a generalized Bell ternary quadratic form if [Formula: see text] is isometric to [Formula: see text] for some nonnegative integers [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we give a closed formula for [Formula: see text] for a generalized Bell ternary quadratic form [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] and class number greater than [Formula: see text] by using the Minkowski–Siegel formula and bases for spaces of cusp forms of weight [Formula: see text] and level [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] consisting of eta-quotients.

Let 𝔬 be the ring of integers in a number field. An integral quadratic form over 𝔬 is called regular if it represents all integers in 𝔬 that are represented by its genus. In [13,14] Watson proved that there are only finitely many inequivalent positive definite primitive integral regular ternary quadratic forms over ℤ. In this paper, we generalize Watson's result to totally positive regular ternary quadratic forms over [Formula: see text]. We also show that the same finiteness result holds for totally positive definite spinor regular ternary quadratic forms over [Formula: see text], and thus extends the corresponding finiteness results for spinor regular quadratic forms over ℤ obtained in [1,3].

Based on the analogy between links and primes, we present an analogue of the Iwasawa's class number formula in a Zp-extension for the p-homology groups of pn-fold cyclic covers of a link in a rational homology 3-sphere. We also describe the associated Iwasawa invariants precisely for some examples and discuss analogies with the number field case.
